<p>1) President Obama is pursuing the wrong strategies for the country<br />
2) That the congress is not functioning in the interest of the American people</p>
<p>There are other questions around this, such as, is the Supreme Court&#39;s decisions moving us in the wrong direct. Or, is the legislature too disfunctional?</p>
<p>Basically, it would be good to get into why so many people seet the country off-track instead of assuming that it&#39;s the executive branch taking us the wrong direction.</p>Robert_1987 commented on 'Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa Question Suggestions'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a0133f2dd8001970b017d3c32ee41970c2012-09-21T00:10:08Z2012-09-21T16:25:18ZRobert_1987Ask about gay marriage in all four states.<p>Ask about gay marriage in all four states.</p>Mike commented on 'Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa Question Suggestions'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a0133f2dd8001970b017d3c3285bc970c2012-09-20T22:26:42Z2012-09-21T16:25:18ZMikeIn addition to the obvious questions for every state I would like...
